...Cover: epoxy resin sculpture by Frank Gallo. Though Gallo's slender, sexy swingers grace many museums and private collections around the world, this is his first for TIME and first of a real, live girl. The others have all been imaginary. The sculpture took three weeks to complete, and Gallo personally brought it from Champaign, Ill., to New York-it sat beside him in a first-class Ozark Air Lines seat.

A chunky, 5-ft. 11-in. 190-pounder, McLain stands there stiff-backed, briefly fingering the resin bag before throwing it violently to the ground. Like a high-school wise guy, he tilts his cap so far down over his eyes that he has to cock his head back to see the catcher's signs. Then, with the barest hint of a nod, Denny is ready...
